priority of application

Applicants are taken from a list in order of priority of application whenever an apartment becomes available.

In times like this, under circumstances as muddy as these, it would take more than mere priority of application to settle an adoption claim on a pre-sentient race.

ACAN has a published policy on naming, based on priority of application, appropriateness, and the extent to which usage has become established.

I could see that no NHS patients should be postponed by a private patient except on the basis of priority of application, but that a private patient should be postponed because he was paying, and no one else was, struck my middle-class mentality as an unacceptable anomaly.
